Bronchitis

Home » Bronchitis

The inflammation of the lining of the bronchial tubes, which are the airways that carry air to and from the lungs.

It can be acute or chronic. Acute bronchitis is usually caused by viruses and often develops from a cold or other respiratory infection. 

If you or your loved ones may be experiencing symptoms of bronchitis, reach out to Anna for your initial consultation.

Chronic bronchitis is a more serious condition and is often due to smoking. The main symptoms of bronchitis are coughing and shortness of breath. 

Rarely is bronchitis an unrelated or isolated condition. Smoking remains the primary cause and risk factor for chronic bronchitis, with up to 75% of individuals affected being current or former smokers.

Additionally, long-term exposure to lung irritants like secondhand smoke, air pollution, and environmental or occupational chemical fumes and dusts contribute to the development of chronic bronchitis.

Acute bronchitis often stems from respiratory infections, commonly occurring after upper respiratory infections like colds, particularly in children under the age of five. Other potential risk factors for chronic bronchitis encompass a history of childhood respiratory disease, a family history of lung conditions, asthma, allergies, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

There is relief in knowing that we can assist in managing the condition. Utilising ozone therapy, which includes both light and oxygenated blood treatments, can provide support in the following ways:

  • Enhanced blood oxygenation in ischemic regions is achieved through Ozone therapy, facilitating the delivery of oxygen, particularly to those areas.
  • Ozone influences the inner walls of blood vessels, initiating the process of vasodilation, especially in the bronchi.
  • There is an upregulation of the inner antioxidant enzyme system.
  • A continuous yet gentle stimulation of the immune system can effectively suppress both acute and chronic pulmonary infections.
  • Ozone exhibits the ability to counter inflammation, addressing the underlying root cause of bronchitis.
